One afternoon, I got the inspiration to paint another quick & easy chalkboard project. (To be honest, I was procrastinating about some less inspiring household projects when I had this brainstorm.)
My last chalkboard project was my kitchen pantry cabinet doors.
I decided to add a splash of blackboard next to my kitchen sliding door. This would create a visual barrier between the eating area and our family room, as well as highlight the cute beaded dog leash hanger we have, and anchor it to the floor, rather than it looking as if it’s floating in space.
Here’s the “Before” photo…
A bland, white wall crying out for color!
This project only took a couple hours from inspiration to completion, since I had all of the things I needed already on hand, including leftover chalkboard paint from my last project.
So I taped off the wall using a level to ensure it was even…
…quickly spackled & sanded a couple of spots, then gave it four coats of blackboard paint.
Voila! The finished product…
A welcome contrast to our stark, builder-white walls.
Why not give it a try at your house? Everyone needs a chalkboard!

Darling idea! What doggie doesn’t need their own special spot? Just going through your blog and loving many of your ideas, like the drop cloth curtains, so copying that one! Also your little plaque with the coat on it was too cute!
